The defect
Storyteller Overland, LLC (Storyteller) is recalling certain 2024-2025 MODE XO vehicles. The seat assembly's floor mounting system may be improperly welded, which can cause the seat assembly to loosen or detach.

The risk
A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.
The remedy
